2. Threat Landscape and Defense Guide for August
According to risk control system identification and data analysis, user-facing risks in August were primarily concentrated in five categories. False payment proofs and impersonation scams each accounted for 25%, becoming the two most prevalent fraud methods. These risks often involve forged transfer screenshots or冒用customer service identities to mislead users into erroneous actions. Therefore, the platform advises users to always verify fund receipts through their actual receiving channels and never trust screenshots or verbal claims alone. Users are also encouraged to use HTX’s identity verification tool to confirm the authenticity of official staff.
In addition, collusive fraud, account farming, and诱导order cancellation each accounted for 10%. Collusive fraud typically involves payers whose identity does not match the platform’s real-name registration. Users encountering such situations are advised to appeal immediately and wait for customer service intervention. For large transactions, the platform strongly recommends confirming receipt of funds before completing orders. As for诱导order cancellation, scammers often use excuses like “bank card limit reached” or “system order stuck” to persuade users to cancel orders voluntarily, thereby executing fraud. HTX reminds users that if such scenarios occur, they should immediately click the “Appeal” or “Request Customer Service Intervention” button on the order page to avoid financial loss.
3. Risk Control System Upgrade Record
During August, HTX OTC implemented multiple upgrades to its core risk control system to further enhance the platform’s overall security protection capabilities.
In the rule engine, the system added 19 new intelligent identification rules, increasing the accuracy rate for detecting fraudulent behavior by new users to 97%. Meanwhile, the risk control team built a behavioral profile database for transnational fraud gangs, providing model support for future precision打击.
On the user-end protection front, the platform continuously enhanced its safety alert mechanisms. In August, it triggered 511,500 pop-up warnings for high-risk operations, enabling the system to automatically issue risk alerts in high-threat scenarios. High-risk transaction warning coverage also achieved 100% real-time delivery, effectively reminding users to avoid potential scams.
4. Analysis of Typical Fraud Cases
In practical risk defense, HTX OTC focused on analyzing two common fraud tactics, offering users concrete identification methods and response recommendations.
Case 1: Fake Payment – Forged Screenshots
After placing an order, scammers immediately send forged bank transfer screenshots and urge users to release coins using excuses like “system delay” or “large transfers take time.” If users fail to personally log in to their receiving channels to verify receipt and instead rely solely on screenshots or SMS notifications, they may fall victim to fraud. HTX reminds users to always verify fund arrival through official channels and never act based on screenshots. Any unusual urgency from the counterparty should raise immediate suspicion.
Case 2: Induced Order Cancellation
This type of scam often begins with fake sellers posting ads offering prices significantly better than market rates, luring users to place orders. After users make payments and upload proof, scammers use reasons like “the system might be stuck/delayed,” “my bank card was suddenly limited/frozen and cannot receive funds,” or “the order seems to have timed out; to avoid fund freezing, please cancel first” to诱导users into cancelling orders, thereby stealing funds. HTX warns users: if either buyer or seller actively requests order cancellation during a transaction with various justifications, it is 99% a scam—immediately appeal and wait for platform intervention.
5. User Security Action Guidelines
To help users establish basic risk prevention awareness, HTX OTC has specially compiled a concise anti-fraud mnemonic:
Check carefully before trading; avoid those with poor reputation;
Unrealistic prices are traps—greed leads to downfall.
If the other party rushes you, stay calm—requesting cancellation is a trap;
When problems arise, appeal immediately—customer service intervention is the right path.
